October 2011 Part 1

Over the next two weeks, I hope to catch up on the last couple months of pictures. This post seems a little Laura heavy, that’s because she’ll sit still for a picture where the boys won’t anymore!

Saturday, October 1
Today was my sister’s wedding day! We were so busy enjoying the day and celebrating with her and her new husband that we didn’t really get any pictures, but here’s a couple someone else took!

Laura, getting her dress on.

Cal and Aunt Katherine.

Oliver and Mom

Fred and I were able to enjoy the night too.

Today we spent some time with the newlyweds and my side of the family. It was nice to spend time with my brother and his wife, who live out of town.

She's not so sure about her Uncle Pat.

I love this picture. She’s just relaxing.

Chatting with her bird.

We are taking advantage of every nice day that we have. Today we all played outside. Even Laura; I got out a blanket and laid her on the deck. Of course, the boys had to come see what she was up to, so we played around with the camera a little.

Kiss kiss!

Every night, right around dinner time, Laura gets crabby. This makes our sit down, family dinners a little rough, since either Fred or I have to hold her, either on our laps or in our arms while pacing during dinner.

I don't think she was happy with the dinner I cooked.

Check out her new headbands. My friend has her own Etsy shop and sent Laura a few things.

Gingerbread girl.

Pumpkin.

And Pac Man. Because Fred loves his video games.

Bath time is one of the most entertaining parts of the day here.

I'm not sure what was so funny.

Smile for the camera!

Say cheese!

Tuesday, October 11
Since Calvin started school, Oliver, Laura, and I have started a Tuesday errand ritual. We do grocery shopping and run any other errands we need to while Calvin is at school. Today we stopped at the post office then walked across the plaza to the grocery store. We stopped for coffee (for me) and donuts (for both of us really, Laura napped the whole time in her carseat; in the stroller) when we were done. It was a good morning!

Morning donut break.

Today, for the first time in a long time, I broke out the play-doh. It was rainy and the boys needed something to do! And after all was said and done, it didn’t go as bad as I imagined. We cleaned it up pretty well, and Oliver only ate a little bit :)

It's squishy!

Really, another picture?

Today we went to see my cousin play football; he plays for his middle school team. And right before we left, I got a package in the mail with some new bows and clips for Laura from my good friend. I thought this one was appropriate.

Really a bow with footballs on it? Really?

Fred was off today, so we went to pick out pumpkins.

Little ghouls.

Oliver didn't trust Cal's driving.

The pumpkin patch wore Laura out.

I’ve been craving a rootbeer float lately. No, I’m not pregnant, just somehow got thinking about the combination of rootbeer and vanilla ice cream. Yum.

The makings for a happy evening, thanks to Fred, who surprised me with all the important ingredients.
